According to the plating materials of surface, plating can be divided into different cases. And there are some cases which is respectively common.

1. Gold plating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold on the surface of glass or metal, most often copper or silver. Gold plating is often used in electronics, to provide a corrosion-resistant electrically conductive layer on copper, Metals and glass may also be coated with gold for ornamental purposes.

2. Zinc plating can prevent oxidation of the protected metal by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that does not cause a breakdown of the substrate's surface integrity as it is formed. The majority of hardware parts are zinc plated, rather than cadmium plated.

3. Alloy plating may be solid solution strengthened or precipitation hardened by heat treatment to improve the plating's physical and chemical properties. Nickel-Cobalt is a common electroplated alloy.

4. Nickel plating offers a shinier and harder finish, but lower corrosion resistance, lubricity, and malleability, resulting in a tendency to crack or flake if the piece is further processed.

5. Silver plating sometimes used for plating copper, as its electrical resistance is lower more so at higher frequencies due to the skin effect. Variable capacitors are considered of the highest quality when they have silver-plated plates.

6. Chrome plating is a finishing treatment using the electrolytic deposition of chromium. And depending on the application, coatings of different thicknesses will require different balances of the aforementioned properties.

7. Tin plating process is used to protect both ferrous and nonferrous surfaces. Tin is a useful metal for the food processing industry since it is non-toxic, ductile and corrosion resistant.

All the surface treatment can be widely used in the field of wire basket, filter tube,perforated basket and so on, if you need these products with surface treatment, please feel free to contact WUZHOU KINGDA, we can produce all products totally based on your request.
